Mayor and Council
Budget Policies
Budget Policy Overview
For fiscal year 2010 staff is proposing a change to the structure of the
Mayor and Council budget
Each Councilmember would now have his or her own individual line
items for travel & training, memberships & dues, and community
funding
Line items such as office supplies and postage will remain in a shared
Mayor and Council budget, with no change from the current process
Expenditures will require appropriate approval consistent with Town
policies
If approval is not received the expenditure will need to be voted on by
Council in open session

Budget Policy Overview
A majority vote of the Council shall constitute the final determination of
approval or disapproval of the expenditure
Budget reports will be made available periodically
Any monies not used at the end of the fiscal year will lapse
This policy is in alignment with our Strategic Plan Focus area of
Progress and Innovation and will help meet our action strategy dealing
with transparency of governmental operations and decision-making
